Boards (Super Mario Galaxy)

The Boards in the Super Mario Galaxy games are four sentient signposts capable of speech. In Super Mario Galaxy, they will exclaim "Hey!" at Mario before telling Mario how to perform a particular move each time he meets them. Some boards appear in multiple locations, but their ability to transport themselves is not explored. The names of all four are puns on "billboard". The boards also appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2 with the same role as in the first game. In the Supermassive Galaxy, rather large boards appear on the first planet.

Gil Board is the first of the boards to be encountered. He is a signpost that tells Mario how to Wall Jump. He claims to be the "Famous Gil Board" and claims Mario knows him, although Super Mario Galaxy is the first appearance in which he has been specifically named. He appears in Honeyhive Galaxy.
